Story Highlights

For binge-watchers, George Lucas' galaxy far, far away is just around the corner.

The complete animated series of Star Wars: The Clone Wars debuts on Netflix Friday, including director's cuts of episodes from the five seasons that aired on Cartoon Network plus the "Lost Missions" set of 13 unaired chapters.

Those will be most interesting for longtime fans of Clone Wars, which revolves around young Anakin Skywalker (voiced by Matt Lanter) and the Jedi order prior to him turning to the Dark Side and becoming Darth Vader.

Four episodes of this final sixth season begin with the discovery of missing Jedi master Syfo-Dyas' lightsaber and the subsequent renewal of the investigation into what happened to him. Meanwhile, Yoda hears from the late Jedi knight Qui-Gonn Jinn (Liam Neeson, who played the character in the first Star Wars movie prequel The Phantom Menace) and the visit sends the fan favorite to an ancient world full of the Force to seek out the secrets of immortality and then to the home planet of the evil Sith, Moraband. (The story line acts as the series finale so be sure to watch it last.)

Another arc also explores the Clone army, specifically Commander Rex and cadet Fives as they venture to the rainy locale of Kamino to find out the origins of a strange sickness that's hit one of their fellow soldiers.

Clone Wars marks the first time Star Wars content has been available on Netflix, but the streaming service will be getting more soon enough: Starting in 2016, it will be the exclusive streaming home for first-run, live-action and animated movies from Lucasfilm and other Disney properties such as Pixar and Marvel Studios.
